How to increase oilseed rape yield
How to increase oilseed rape yield
The key components of yield in oilseed rape are number of plants per unit area, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and the individual seed weight. High yields come from good crop management including a balanced plant nutrition programme.

How to optimise oilseed rape green area index
The construction of the oilseed rape canopy and development of green area index is greatly influenced by nutrition, from fertiliser application at drilling through to applications of the key nutrients in the spring.
How to extend oilseed rape canopy duration
How to extend oilseed rape canopy duration
The oilseed rape canopy should be kept green for as long as possible so both leaves and pod can contribute towards seed fill and yield. Crop nutrition, particularly nitrogen and magnesium are important to achieve this.
How to increase oilseed rape oil content
How to increase oilseed rape oil content
The oil content in an oilseed rape crop depends on seeds per pod, pods per plant and plant per area. To obtain a good quality crop with the desired oil content, the photosynthetic activity must be maximized.
